little update:
got to run it at target parking lot today, i was having fun, until all of the sudden one of my wheel came off....... running toward the fence, bounce off 25 feet in the air lol. stupid me forgot to tightened one of the hex nut and the nut is nowhere to be found so i end up ordering a whole set off ebay. i guess i wont be running this until next week

that almost happened to me a couple times i didnt bother to check the wheel nuts and went running when i brought it over to me i checked temps and happen to feel the wheel and it was just about to come off wheel nut on the edge, now I tigthen before putting the lipos in everytime even if the wheels dont feel loose.

How much were the tickets last year? does it say how much for this year? I may try to make it if i can save up some cash from now till then.

it was $10 last year. i could've get it for free cause my wife's uncle went to watch the Long Beach grand prix and they were giving away free tickets there. i for sure will start saving up for some B-Day presents (b-day falls in june)

$10 not bad at all, thinking it will cost about $80 in gas alone maybe a slight bit more as gas price is more there than here at 3.61 right now. here's what google says i would have to drive: Waterford, CA-Long Beach, CA
5 hours 45 mins
332.0 mi

Now i know what falls in June nice they are having it again next year. Are you going?

I think if i am able to go i would be there saturday starts at 10am so i would get there around 12pm noon time. That 5hrs wouldnt take me i drive 75-80mph so would only take about 3hrs lol and still get 31mpg. I'll have to take extra cash on hand in case i want to buy something while there and gotta eat out that will be a long day. Hope my wife goes along with it, i would invite my family like cusins think they'll like that alot for their kids i'll talk them about it and explain the hobby more to them and how much it cost (not a problem on cost for them though) the more the merrier lol.

On another note havent gotton to see the last 2 vids you made going to watch them now on youtube got the 2 emails in my inbox telling me.

umm...that looks like an elite rc motor mount?...i just bought one for my hyper 10sc...

ur gonna use that X01 motor and get it up to 200+mph????...that would be totally wicked...yeah...do that...get it up to 200+mph so that u can make it into the record books of the fastest RC on the planet!!!!!!!

yeah mate, i mention this before when i started the build, but never really continue doing it....so, this time i will forward the build and hope for the best lol.
here it is again of what it looks like,
i'm going to cut the top chassis (mid section) once i get the under chassis supported with stand offs.

here is what i'm going to cut from the top chassis, white dots are the stand off points. steering servo will be mounted under chassis.

if you ever thinking about buying a nut replacement for your 17mm traxxas hex dont bother buying this. it seems to fit perfectly at the first turn but the more you turn it the more it gets harder to turn. so much for spending $12. i could have get 2 set of this off ebay with the original traxxas nut.

hmm...it says locking nuts...and i see some plastic on it...maybe its suppose to get harder to turn?...to "lock" it into place?

yeah you would think the plastic is what hold it but it fall out as i force to turn it all the way tight and when i loosen it out some aluminum materials falling off. so what i did is i put a thick washer in first then the nut.

humay...gosh darn u...since ur gt build...i went out and oogled at some of those gt cars....and now...i've bought one of those Ofna DM-1e...my wife is gonna kick my behind....another five large down the drain...if u see news of a death by poison guy or wife beating husband to death because of rc hobby...that would be me....thank you very much for shortening my life span...
